Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for mosquitto. Planned to be
fixed in a DSA, and needs to be fixed for buster as reason for the RC
severity filling.

CVE-2017-7653[0]:
| The Eclipse Mosquitto broker up to version 1.4.15 does not reject
| strings that are not valid UTF-8. A malicious client could cause other
| clients that do reject invalid UTF-8 strings to disconnect themselves
| from the broker by sending a topic string which is not valid UTF-8,
| and so cause a denial of service for the clients.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
